postmenopausal bone losses การใช้

Estrogen replacement starting in perimenopause is an excellent way for women to avoid rapid postmenopausal bone loss.
Although hormone replacement and weight-bearing exercise can slow postmenopausal bone loss, they cannot do much for bones when calcium is in short supply.
And, unlike estrogen, which merely slows postmenopausal bone loss, testosterone therapy increases bone mass and is therefore more effective than estrogen in preventing osteoporosis.
In addition to raloxifene, which was licensed to counter postmenopausal bone loss, there are other bone-building drugs, the biphosphates, that do not cause hot flashes.
Women can use lower doses of the replacement hormones taken to prevent postmenopausal bone loss and achieve the same benefits with reduced side effects, at least if they take calcium and Vitamin D along with the hormones, according to a new study.
